Two Cards on the Mat

Hello. I have a deck of lightly used Bicycle Supreme Line cards, and when I try to handle two cards as one, it's really obvious that there are two. Any tips? I've tried with several cards, but nothing works. Thanks.

Try using some Fournier cards.

This is a single card (left) and a double (right). It doesn't flash too much; you can still spot something, and the deck is well-worn, but I maintain uniformity. What I mean is, I do riffles and so on, so that even when I do palms and crimps, the curvature of the different cards remains consistent.

If the double is two cards facing back-to-back or face-to-face, with the cards' natural curvature, it might be a bit more noticeable. It would be more visible if it's back-to-back because they stick in the center and separate at the corners. However, face-to-face would be less obvious for the same reason.

As they say, Fournier cards are flatter, which can work better for this. This isn't always a good thing, though, because the curvature sometimes helps with finding or creating breaks in face-up cards, which comes in very handy (for example, in effects like Hold the Mayo).

Cheers!

Thanks so much for the replies. I had no idea that was a thing with Bicycle decks. I'll try some others for this! Thanks again!!
